Ok. Im not sure what coolant temp sensor they use with the 6.5 but the nissan gauges sometimes dont actually start to move until around 100degrees.

No oil pressure gauge...lolOriginally Posted by AB
Alarm didn't come on though.
Just for reference (sort of), my 6.5TD is on about 109 degrees when the Nissan gauge reads around 3/4 and yes, the Nissan gauge doesn't move until about 103 degrees or thereabouts. At 115 degrees the Nissan gauge is nearing the overheating mark. Those temp readings are from the thermocouple on the thermostat housing.
Also, my A/C generally adds up to 5 degrees celsius to my temps.
An interesting problem.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.
I'll hopefully shed some light on this soon gents.
Must say that the customer service from them is outstanding!

Hey Andy, did you ever work anything out with this?

I was waiting for someone to bump this..lol
New fans replaced and testing back at their factory is currently happening.
We haven't had a chance to put them in yet, it's winter time
They will get back to us soon with their finds.
We are all stumped to be honest.
I will come back when I know.
I'm thinking a bad compound or an accidental mispack of 24 volt motors in 12v package but I'm only speculating of course.
What I can say is they took the problem serious and will find out what happened. I'm almost hoping it was our side but I just can't see it.
Really happy with their service though mate. Don't really see that kind of service much these days so kudos regardless of the crap mark went through.

The difference it made to marks patrol was quite impressive too.
If these ones check out I could be very tempted to wang these in mine when money permits.
They would compliment the sprinkler system quite well =]

that's funny...lol
Lol, sounds like some pretty outstanding after sales service though... You're right, you really don't see that much now.
